Demand Certainty
With only 40% demand certainty, visibility into actual June requirements remains limited. Recommend reassessing sourcing in April 2026 when firm orders typically solidify.
Wait for demand to firm up before sourcing
Only 40% of demand is from firm contracts. Monitor and re-evaluate as contracts are signed.
Reasoning: MagnaOleic demand at BAL for June 2026 is heavily weighted toward forecast (54 ST unsourced), with only 40% certainty. Recommend deferring commitment until firm orders materialize to avoid overstock risk.
Risk:
Forecast-driven demand carries significant execution risk; 60% of the 54 ST requirement lacks firm customer commitment, exposing inventory to potential write-down or carry-forward.
